Mamata visits infant boy with severed thumb

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today visited the infant boy whose thumb was severed allegedly by a nurse at a government hospital in South Dinajpur district and expressed hope that the boy would get well soon.
"Here we have a team of good doctors and nurses who treat patients with lot of care. The report that the infant can't be cured is not right. We are hoping that the boy will get well soon and some thing positive will happen," Banerjee said after visiting the infant in SSKM hospital where he was shifted two days back.
The district health department received the suspension order of the nurse following announcement by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that she should be terminated from services.

The infant was admitted to the Sick and Neo-natal Care Unit of Balurghat Hospital in South Dinajpur district with diarrhoea on July 6 and his left palm was covered with bandage to administer saline.
As the infant's condition improved, the bandage was being removed when the nurse allegedly severed the boy's thumb and then threw it in a dustbin.
The infant's father had also lodged a complaint with the police over the incident.
